Cremation Merchandise


The selection of cremation merchandise is wide and varied, and offers many opportunities to personalize. What you select will depend on what you are going to do and where you are going to do it. 

Many families have a funeral with cremation then following. A funeral service with the casket present requires a casket. Any of our wood caskets may be used for a cremation. We also offer caskets especially designed for cremation purposes. Some caskets do offer personalization options. 

Some families have a memorial service following cremation. An urn is typically present during the memorial service, and often serves as a focal point. 

Following a cremation and the remembrance services, many families place the cremated remains in a columbarium. Others bury them in a cemetery. A columbarium and a cemetery typically have some requirements. The columbarium may require a certain type of urn. Burial in a cemetery may require an urn vault, which may in turn, have some size and shape restrictions for the urn. 

Some families choose to scatter the cremated remains. Others plan to tastefully display an urn in a home. Still others keep the cremated remains in a home garden. We offer urns for any of these options. 

Many families are also interested in memorials and keepsakes. We offer some possibilities below. 

Let us know what you are interested in doing. We will offer you merchandise selections that address your needs, interests and budget.

Urns and Urn Vaults

Urns and Urn Vaults

Memorial Urns are permanent containers for the cremated body. We offer a wide range of styles and prices appropriate for burial, niches, scattering, keepsakes or discreet placement in a home. Many of the urns can also be personalized with engravings or laser designs.
Urn Vaults are protective containers in which urns are placed if buried in a cemetery. Much like burial vaults for caskets, urn vaults protect the urn from being crushed and prevent the ground above them from caving in.

Memorial Monuments and Markers

Permanent memorials stand the test of time. They are a visible tribute to a life that has been lived. Permanent Memorials individualize and designate a physical place where loved ones can come to pay their respects.
